I certainly wasn't. If I understand correctly, the Lucent is not DSP-less, and the binary driver acts as a shim to make it appear to be a "real" UART to the system. In any case, I've never noticed any difference in CPU loading when running ltmdm on a PIII-600 and actually having a dial-up link up. It certainly places less load on the system than the "toys" (wmitime, wmapm, wmmon, wmnd, wmmatrix, wmusic) I habitually run in my windowmaker dock. And they don't interfere with the smooth playing from xmms, so that doesn't bother me.. I /did/ notice piss-poor throughput the last time I used it (24000), but that was due to being in the wilds of up-state WA (where at least you can get good coffee) and on a lousy ISP. The connection speed was identical when I tried my trusty Psion and 3Com/Megahertz 56K PC cards (never travel without spares!). And I /know/ how they work, because I used them for two years before I swapped out the 3Com Winmodem junk...
